In December 2025, a law came into force in Moldova, which allows residents of Transnistria who serve in the law enforcement agencies to be deprived of Moldovan citizenship

Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has signed a decree easing the process of obtaining Russian citizenship for residents of the unrecognised Transnistria.

Eligible applicants can skip Russian residency requirements, history and civic tests, and can forego proving proficiency in the Russian language.
